HATUN PHAQCHA

HATUN PHAQCHA, The Healing Land will show the importance of preservation and good care of these foods and raise questions about the vulnerability of the region amid the demands of a monoculture-promoting market as well as the threat of climate change. Peru is the country of origin for many highly nutritious products that are known as “superfoods” around the world. Yet, contemporary Peru also has high rates of malnutrition and dietary habits that do not include many products from its rich agricultural and cultural heritage.
The ancient inhabitants of Peru were able to domesticate and cultivate an astonishing number of nutritious crops thanks to the fact that the country harbors the greatest spectrum of the world's climates and a wide range of ecosystems.
